Frances O’Grady used her first speech as general secretary of the TUC to call for the return to public ownership of Britain’s railway network. In her keynote address to Congress, Frances told delegates on Monday morning: ‘We oppose the creeping privatisation of our education system. We want our railways returned to public ownership. And let’s send a strong message from this Congress – we will fight this latest, senseless, sell-off of the family silver. Hands off our Royal Mail.’
